I would like to know if anyone has had success using a normal Postscript
printer as opposed to a LaserWriter for Mac printing.

We have a QMS-PS Postscript printer attached to a Sun workstation which we
would like to make available to the Macs.  We have successfully implemented
CAP so that lwsrv appears as a LaserWriter to the Macs.  However, it seems
that the Macs cannot print to a normal Postscript printer; only a LaserWriter.

Has anyone successfully used a non-Apple Postscript printer with a Mac?  Is
there some header file that I must prepend to the Mac output file before
sending it to the printer?

Any help would be appreciated.  Please respond via E-mail...
